Ghetto & Mercston spittin bars about prison and the justice system over (ironically) Anthill Mob's 'Set You Free' on an exclusive dub ting for Logan Sama. Ghetto comin like Slick Rick on the last 8 bars of the intro before the bass drop in.

DEA Project were true pioneers of the UK Garage scene, they wrote some of the best 2step tunes ever. Most notably thier remix of Mariah Carey's 'My All' which i still batter on the regular.

Their style falls into that more melodic end of the 2step scale near the tail end of the 1990's such as artists like Groove Chronicles, Masterstepz, Steve Gurley, Zed Bias and MJ Cole but really goes alot deeper than those mentioned. Its true London Blues, well-written basslines, carefully constructed and often complex melodies, alot of the time with only the slightest hints of vocals here and there to give it that dubby effect.

Again, catch me n Brackles on RINSE.FM tonight from 1am rinsing out some of these classics plus first hour all FRESHNESS. New and exclusive beats from Shortstuff, Desto, Zomby, Skream, Loefah and the usual bits n bobs.

As some of you may or may not know, i started off in this game by doing Mix tapes. I did this because i was too young to DJ in clubs and to be honest nobody else was doing it so i saw a gap in the market. Between the 1993 and 2004 i was killing it, then with the Internet blowing up i could only do "Legal" mix cds which is great but defiantly not the same.

So I'm BACK ON MY MIX TAPE GRIND!!!

Every 2 months I'm gonna be dropping a brand new mix tape with nothing but the best new Hip Hop out there from the US/UK, featuring the sickest freestyles from the hottest MCS from the US AND the UK.

And whats good about it for you is that its FREE.

I feel the hunger again and to be honest who else is doing it???? Name me 2 dj's in the states who are dropping sick mix tapes of recent hip hop with freestyles from the best MCS in the game, that's actually mixed rather then somebody just shouting all over it???

THE NEW MIX CD WILL BE ONLINE HERE 1ST AT MIDDAY ON FRIDAY. SPREAD THE WORD.

This has been on full rotation for nearly a week now, and I'm still lovin' it like a Happy Meal with a Transformer toy.

Out to Sofi Donuts for showing me this, best mixtape i've heard in ages. Overloaded with electro breaks, New Wave/French House-type synthworks and some amazing sampling with Theophilus rhyming over the top.
